Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0068735A2] A building (10) comprises (central) upright support means in the form of a vertically disposed tower or support (11) of tubular form, which is basically circular in section. The building (10) further comprises an eight-sided hollow structure (12) carried by the tubular support (11) and spaced from the ground. The hollow structure (12) extends laterally of the support (11). The horizontally-disposed floor (9) of the structure (12) is supported on cantilever supports (13) extending radially outwardly from the support (11). The structure (12) has eight contiguous panels or side walls (14) interconnected so as to form a regular polygon, as viewed in plan. Supports (15) are disposed at the junctions between adjacent walls (14). Further supports (16) are disposed midway along each wall (14). The supports (15, 16) extend upwardly and substantially vertically from the floor (9). Spaces between the cantilever supports (13), which extend upwardly as well as outwardly from the support (11), are filled in by suitable cladding 17.Removable partitions 18 extend radially inwards from selected supports (15 or 16) so as to divide the interior of the structure (12) into convenient zones. In the arrangement shown, a three bedroomed house is provided having a living room (19); bedrooms (22, 23, 24); a kitchen (25); and a bathroom (26). Access to the structure (12) is by way of a door (29) at the foot of the central support (11), which has internal steps (30).
